Boston Celtics rookie Kelly Olynyk returned to practice Monday for the first time in more than two weeks and told reporters there "might be a chance" he plays Tuesday night in Brooklyn.

The big man, who suffered a sprained ankle against Indiana on Nov. 22, said he still has a little trouble jumping. He expects to make a decision for the Nets game depending on how his ankle responds to the increased activity and how it feels after pregame warmups Tuesday.

Olynyk said the ankle is not yet painless, but continues to be "trending well."

"Kelly was back full at practice today, but we didn’t do anything live, so it’s hard to say," head coach Brad Stevens said, according to ESPN Boston. "I haven’t gotten the clear thumbs up yet from our trainers. I would say that he’s, at worst, questionable for (Tuesday's game)."

Olynyk was a starter before going down, but the team is 6-2 since his injury. After much experimentation, the Celtics have finally found a frontcourt rotation that's working, so it will be interesting to see how Stevens handles Olynyk return.
